Trent FleskensHOST
Some of it comes from investors, and obviously some of it comes from people who do genuinely live there.
Trent FleskensHOST
A place like Busselton, though, of all the places in the regions other than Kalgoorlie and Karratha, you argue, has more reasons than it used to want to live there, doesn't it? Yeah, absolutely.
Trent FleskensHOST
There
Brendon PtolomeyGUEST
is still some demand fundamentals here.
5 MINS LATER

Joel JacksonGUEST
And I remember I'd just come down and I got a phone call covered in shit and, like, haggard as on a shutdown crew.
Joel JacksonGUEST
So that means you work nonstop for, like, six days 'cause the whole plant is shut down so that you can get the jobs done.
Joel JacksonGUEST
And I came down from crane and I got a call and said, like, "Can you be in Brisbane tomorrow afternoon? Um, Baz Luhrmann wants you to, wants you to tape, well, like, test in person." I was like, "For the Elvis film?" He's like, "Yeah." [sighs] "Yeah, I can be there." So Karratha is on the opposite end of the country to where Brisbane is-
Sarah RobertsHOST
Oh
Kate KirwinGUEST
Yeah, so we run workshops and a boot camp program, as well as running a community.
Kate KirwinGUEST
We've taught tens of thousands of women across Australia, um, from as far away as, uh, Perth to Brisbane and up to Port Hedland and Karratha, um, and areas in regional, regional Australia.
Kate KirwinGUEST
Um, so we run these workshops, getting a whole heap of people together and just encouraging them to be curious and try something.
Kate KirwinGUEST
So build a game, build a website, build an app, uh, from the ground up, so you don't need to know absolutely anything about tech walking in, just, "Today I'm gonna be a bit curious, try something, see if it's for me." And then our boot camp program, we've been working with industry to fund scholarships.

The
Brad CarrGUEST
I think looking a little bit ahead, this will be mitigated significantly from the middle of 2027.
Brad CarrGUEST
One of our NAB customers, Herdeman, has been building a urea plant at Karratha in northern WA, and that will be using gas from the northwest shelf, and that will solve a lot of the supply issues for our country and probably for some adjacent ones for export.
Brad CarrGUEST
But we've got two crop cycles to get through until then.
Brad CarrGUEST
So it does come, the El Nino does potentially come at a bad time.
Isabel VieiraHOST
farmers represents quite a big percentage of their overall costs huge huge
Tom ZaunmayrGUEST
especially this year and so that's why that you know one of the reasons why we're starting to talk a lot about uh fuel sovereignty and fertilizer sovereignty um and you've actually um you ruined it by telling me it was a good segue so you've actually been in a place i love non-agricultural town by any regard, Karratha, talking about agriculture and agricultural sovereignty.
Isabel VieiraHOST
Yes, yes, bit going on.
Isabel VieiraHOST
I was up there on a tour thanks to the Chamber of Minerals and Energy and yeah, we went out to a few sites.
Isabel VieiraHOST
First up, we went to Pertman's site near Karratha and Pertman, of course, is the chosen builder by the federal government to build a proposed $15 billion fuel refinery or oil refinery, you should say.
Isabel VieiraHOST
But really, we were there to have a look at their almost fully constructed urea plant, which was pretty impressive to see, I must say.
Isabel VieiraHOST
It's
Tom ZaunmayrGUEST
And you were out at an almost finished salt project, which is, again, having a look at fertiliser sovereignty through provision of potash.
SimonAUDIENCE
I've just returned from Ledge Point, went up there for a week just to relax and get out of town for a fishing trip.
SimonAUDIENCE
And I noticed that nobody seems anymore, I'm 60, and I lived in Karratha for about 20 years and travelled up and down.
SimonAUDIENCE
No one's giving you that little one-finger wave anymore.
SimonAUDIENCE
What are your thoughts about
DamoGUEST
It was, you know, I always remember that.
DamoGUEST
We ended up moving, um, from there to Karratha and I loved Karratha.
DamoGUEST
I excelled at sales in Karratha.
DamoGUEST
Right.
DamoGUEST
Um, again, did breakfast and also did sales, but I had a really good manager who supported me in both.
DamoGUEST
That's him.
DamoGUEST
Yeah, yeah.
DamoGUEST
But I've always, whenever I've gone to a town that has been rugby league, I've always refereed, even out at Broken Hill, up in Karratha, Kalgoorlie.
